From Legacy Peak in China’s Ningxia Helan Mountain East region, the Marselan 2023 is a refined 100% Marselan sourced from high-altitude vineyards (1,100-1,200 meters) on the Helan Mountain’s eastern foothills, featuring gravelly, sandy-loam soils with excellent drainage that impart concentration and freshness. Hand-harvested grapes from the balanced 2023 vintage—marked by moderate conditions yielding ripe yet vibrant fruit—undergo meticulous sorting, cold soak, fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, and 12-18 months’ aging in French oak barrels to enhance structure and aromatic lift. As a showcase for Marselan’s potential in Ningxia, this production yields a deep ruby wine with cherry edges and remarkable poise.
Tasting Notes An elegant, vibrant red with juicy black fruit and subtle spice, reflecting Ningxia’s high-altitude terroir. The nose reveals blackberry, ripe plum, and hints of licorice, graphite, and wild herbs. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied and harmonious, with fine tannins, bright acidity, and flavors of dark cherry, pepper, and mineral earthiness, leading to a long, persistent finish.
Awards and Accolades The 2023 Marselan earned 91 points from Wine Spectator for its juicy aromatics and polished balance.
Serving and Cellaring Serve at 16-18°C with 45-60 minutes of decanting to enhance aromas. Ideal with grilled beef, roasted duck, or aged cheeses. Enjoy now through 2035, developing greater leather and earthy depth over time.
